American Red Cross South Louisiana Chapter chief executive officer Kay Wilkins said that a number of Louisiana residents, accustomed to hurricanes and flooding in the region, have taken the call to volunteer in areas hit by Hurricane Isaac.

"We expect to help with cleanup, meals and sheltering in certain areas for a long time," Wilkins said. "If you can help, we invite you to join us over the next few days to distribute supplies in the impacted communities."

Organizers said volunteers are needed to help distribute cleanup supplies.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering is asked to visit the nearest Red Cross location at 8 a.m. from Sept. 8 to 12.
